Bothered Curiosities Flies Ingenuities Off Ice Patent Prevent Protective 1921 Clot
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the hallowed halls of the Patent Office in the early 20th century and feast your eyes on a fascinating array of curiosities and ingenuities that once graced its Decimal Class 07 ILN (Illustrated London News) files. Among these historical treasures, this illustration from February 1921 stands out for its ingenious solution to a common annoyance for horses and other animals: the Fly Clot. The Fly Clot, a patented invention from 1917, was designed to protect horses and other animals from the nuisance of flies and other insects. The intricately detailed illustration shows a horse wearing the protective covering, with its head and legs encased in a mesh of fine netting. The netting was secured with straps and buckles, allowing for a snug yet comfortable fit. The design also included a protective collar to shield the animal's neck from pesky insects. The Fly Clot was an important innovation in animal welfare during a time when horses and other animals were essential for transportation and labor. The invention not only prevented animals from being bothered by flies and other insects but also helped to keep them healthy and productive. The Fly Clot was just one of many inventions that showcased the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the time, reflecting the spirit of innovation that defined the Patent Office during the 19th and early 20th centuries. This image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the Patent Office was a hub of creativity and invention. The Fly Clot may no longer be in use today, but its legacy continues to inspire new inventions and innovations that make our lives easier and our world a better place.
